About This Audi allroad Premium 2013 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Audi allroad Premium 2013 sits on a set of 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch Ferrada CM1 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Ferrada for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Audi allroad Premium builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the Ferrada CM1 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Ferrada CM1 on the Audi allroad Premium 2013
I walked around this B8.5 allroad for twenty minutes at the last meet. Putting a 19x8.5 wheel with a +25 offset on this wagon changes the entire personality of the car. The stock wheels always look too tucked and timid, but this setup finally pushes the face of the wheel out where it belongs.
The +25 offset is the secret sauce here. It brings the wheel flush with those signature allroad plastic cladding arches without needing a hacksaw. You get a much more aggressive stance than the factory specs could ever dream of providing.
We checked the caliper clearance on these Ferrada CM1s while the car sat in the lot. The spoke design arcs nicely to clear the stock Audi brakes with plenty of room to spare. You will not deal with any annoying interference issues or caliper scraping here.
The hub bore on these wheels fits the Audi 66.6mm center perfectly. We hate running hub-centric rings when we can avoid them, so this direct fit is a huge win for long-term reliability. The wheel sits tight against the hub, which prevents those nasty high-speed vibrations.
Since the car runs on stock suspension, you still have a decent amount of fender gap to manage. The 19-inch diameter fills the wheel well much better than the 18s that came from the factory. It looks like a purposeful wagon now rather than a soft-roader.
Watch out for heavy compression when you are fully loaded, though. With a +25 offset and the stock ride height, you have a solid margin, but big bumps could theoretically push the tire close to the inner liner. We didn't see any rubbing, but keep an eye on your tire profile choice.
The barrel lip depth on the CM1 gives the wheel a bit of extra character without being too flashy. It frames the spokes well and creates a nice transition from the tire bead to the face. The design feels balanced for the weight and length of this Audi chassis.
What We Recommend for Audi allroad Premium 2013 Owners
If you own an allroad, stop settling for the factory look. A 19x8.5 setup is the absolute sweet spot for this platform if you want daily drivability. You get the looks of a show car without destroying your spine on the way to work.
We always suggest staying with a square setup on these wagons. You want to rotate your tires to keep the Quattro system happy and healthy. Staggered setups on these cars just lead to premature drivetrain wear and headaches during tire changes.
Don't be afraid to experiment with your tire size to dial in the look. A 245/40/19 tire gives you a meaty sidewall that protects the rim from potholes. If you want a sharper turn-in feel, you can drop to a 245/35, but be prepared for a harsher ride.
The biggest mistake we see guys make is buying the wrong offset. Anything higher than +35 will look like a total disaster on the allroad. You need that +25 range to make the wheels sit flush with the wider body cladding of the wagon.
Skip the cheap spacers if you can help it. Buying a wheel with the correct offset from the start saves you from needing adapters that might introduce wobble. Do it once and do it right so you can spend your time driving instead of wrenching.
Style and Build Analysis
The Matte Black finish on these Ferrada CM1s looks absolutely lethal against the body color of this wagon. Matte black absorbs the light, which makes the car look darker and more menacing. It provides a brutal contrast that screams performance.
The CM1 design uses a clean, multi-spoke layout that feels sophisticated. It manages to look modern without being too busy or tacky. The spokes stretch all the way to the edge of the rim, which makes the 19-inch wheel look even larger than it actually is.
I love how the matte finish highlights the lines of the car instead of fighting them. Because the wheels aren't glossy, your eyes naturally focus on the shape of the wagon itself. The wheels support the build perfectly rather than demanding all the attention.
The proportions are spot on for the B8.5 chassis. The car looks planted and heavy, exactly how a German wagon should look. It feels like a subtle factory upgrade that Audi should have offered on the top-tier trims.
Comparing this to other builds, this car wins on restraint. Many people go too wide or too low and ruin the utility of the allroad. This build keeps the original spirit of the car alive while injecting a massive dose of attitude.
Why We Love This Build
I love this build because it captures the essence of a daily-driven masterpiece. The matte black Ferradas catch the light just enough to show off their intricate spoke pattern, yet they remain dark and aggressive. Seeing this Audi in the parking lot makes me want to drop everything and go for a long drive through the canyons.
It sits perfectly in the wheel arches, creating a cohesive look that is both functional and striking. The black-on-body contrast makes the car look like it means serious business. We rarely see an allroad get treated with this much respect and taste.
This is the ultimate blueprint for any B8.5 owner looking to level up their game. It is aggressive, clean, and entirely usable. This wagon just hits different.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Audi allroad Premium owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch wheels fit my Audi allroad Premium? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Audi allroad Premium owners run 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
